The political stupidity in the WH compounds itself. Some idiot in the WH convinced Trump to call himself a "wartime president" for a war that science said he was destined to lose.
Its now official. Wartime Trump has SURRENDERED
"WASHINGTON — As the country is hit with record numbers of coronavirus cases, some states are halting their reopenings and hospitals in hot spots are becoming overwhelmed, President Donald Trump has largely stayed in a place you don't often find him: the sidelines.
The president's lower profile is by design, a senior administration official said.
The latest hope among top aides is that by keeping Trump distanced from the day to day, the administration can depoliticize the virus response, the official said. Trump's comments on everything from masks to taking an experimental drug have ignited controversy and drawn him into battles with Democrats and public health experts. One outside adviser said he has cautioned for months that there is only downside in having Trump as the public face of the response."
And in his surrender there is a key admission (IN BOLD) that will come back to haunt him through the election, especially every time one of the Trumpettes cries about masks as tyranny
The current message out of the WH is "we have to live with it." And Trump has steeped back, resigned to defeat.
Biden has already seized up this. Former GOP now anti-Trump are also all over this . . . with an eye on dethroning Trump and VOLUNTARILY turning the Senate back to Democrats to punish their former GOP colleagues turned Trump sycophants.
THAT LAST PART IS STUNNING
